Chavez seems to want to take up the mantle from Castro, since Fidel is in his last days. We’ll see how succesful he is at it.

Here's my rather cynical ten ways to be a dictator. Chavez inspired several of them...

Hugo Chavez has done more for the 80% of Venezuelans that live in poverty than any other politician from that country’s two-party system have ever done. He’s not perfect by any stretch, but to have a leader that actually talks directly about the root causes of poverty is quite refreshing. And he also tries to do things about it to.

Viva la revolucion.

That would be nice. Politics aside, Venezuela is sitting on the method to bring that countrys’ citizens into the circle of wealthiest nations on the planet given the right kind of leadership. Proper leaders don’t threaten or cajole neighbours to gain limited political points at the expense of their peoples’ well-being like Mr. Chavez tend to do. Politics or no, pissing off your biggest customer is not wise.
